EMLX to PST Converter (Outlook 2019, 2016, 2013… Office 365)

Even the Best EMLX to PST Converter is Not Without Flaws and Challenges!

EMLX to PST Converter for Outlook 2019 / 2016..

The very first Mac Mail version used MBOX files to store email messages. Ever since the second version, Mail uses EMLX files. Each EMLX file is for a single email message. These are simple text files that can be viewed by a simple text editor. The attachments are stored in EMLXPART files. These files can be found by opening .mbox file packages inside the ‘Mail’ folder inside users’ library.

Note that .mbox file packages that Mac Mail uses is different from the standard MBOX format.

But sadly, even the best EMLX to PST converters have some large hurdles to overcome that they generally fail to do so.

Challenges with EMLX to PST Converter

Firstly, EMLX to PST converters are only applicable for converting emails, that too, without the attachments. Secondly, you need to dig into your database folders to look for these files. And since each EMLX file is a single email message, to convert the entire Mac Mail data, the total number of files can be daunting. For a user with thousands of emails, it becomes almost unfeasible to go this route.

It can be tedious but worse of all, such conversion methods lead to errors in data integrity. You can find broken images, modified folder hierarchy, lost non-English text characters, and so on. The fidelity of your important email data is, leaving traces to data loss as well. There is nothing more painful and disheartening that losing your precious emails from friends and coworkers.

There is another way to migrate Mac Mail data than EMLX to PST conversion, and that is, MBOX to PST conversion. You just need to archive everything into an MBOX file first and then convert it into PST. It is almost the same procedure except it is slightly better than the EMLX approach.
